Thank you. It means a lot that I feel I can share on these forums without ridicule. Yesterday was the anniversary of my Daddy passing away very unexpectedly. He and I were two peas in a pod. He's always been my role model, my hero, the person I could talk to, and the man that I most respected ever in the whole universe... So, it's been a tough few weeks.

I've tried to ignore it, but my wife knew... While I was being a little less tolerant, a little more snippy, a little more harsh, and a little less understanding of others in pretty much all my interactions, she understood. It wasn't until we talked about it that I at least knew she understood. After that, I backed off of a few threads because I knew my anger (covering the pain of the lose even still) was coming through. (poor Ian )

What we don't own will only consume us. It is good to vent and discharge ... feelings stuffed down only make us sick.

It's one year ago today that my Mom died. I understand and share your feelings of loss. It is good to remember and honor our ancestors and lineage. I am struck by how much we've lost by not knowing our heritage.

I lost my dad about 27 years ago, Panther. Lived at the hospital he was in for his last week on earth and made closure with all the issues. A parent will always be a parent even though distance in time grows.

No matter how old one gets, Panther, the emotions felt during younger days never seem to fade, it's as if we never grow away from them.

Whatever they represented to us eons ago even though they may no longer be with us in the flesh, their spirit will always be with us and sometimes even comfort us though prayer even if we are not "religious."
